Siberian Husky Dog - A Great Worker and Family Dog
|
Due to their genetic makeup, a Siberian Husky dog is a hard worker. They have gorgeous coats that are found in many colors including white. They also have brown, black, and various markings found on them. Grooming can become a chore when they are shedding their heavy coats. For this breed of dog you need to use a metal comb to keep them groomed properly. One of the defining characteristics are their eyes and many feature a lovely shade of blue or a deep brown. There are even some of them that have one eye of each color. You will notice that a Siberian Husky dog is extremely hairy. They even have hair between their toes to help them stay warm in the extremely cold winter locations. They have a very thick undercoat and a soft top coat which allows them to be able to survive when they weather is below freezing. In spite of their large size, you will find a Siberian Husky dog to be very playful and compassionate. They make great family pets as they adore children. A Siberian Husky dog isn't a good choice as a watchdog for their rarely bark. They are very easy going but they do have a great deal of energy due to their genetics for being a working dog. This isn't the type of dog you would want to keep indoors. They need plenty of room to play and to roam. You will find that a Siberian Husky dog can be quite stubborn though. Those that are to be used for working conditions need to be trained properly from an early age. Owners have to show them who is boss early on too or they will refuse to listen. Keep in mind that they are bred to be leaders and will take on such a role if you don't step firmly into it from the very start. Due to the thick coats they offer, you may find a Siberian Husky dog has a hard time in locations that get very hot. Try to keep them in an area with plenty of shade, even a fan that can circulate air outdoors for them can be helpful in the summertime. They can be destructive out of curiosity or boredom so make sure you don't keep anything they can get into around them. A full grown Siberian Husky dog will weigh about 50 pounds, with most of it being muscle. They don't each as much as most other large dogs so don't be alarmed that they don't consume as much food as you might think that they would. They aren't prone to chronic medical problems so with a good diet and proper exercise your Siberian Husky can easily live for 15 years or more.
